A Living Glossary of Autorite
Every term is a portal. Every concept has a rhythm.
The Lexicon is not a dictionary. It is a resonance field. It maps the gravitational pull of meaning across Autorite’s evolving models. Each entry offers not just a definition—but a way of perceiving, sensing, and building. Terms unfold like seeds: they do not describe; they grow.
How to Use This Page
- Browse alphabetically or explore by category: Structural, Perceptual, Dynamic, Hybrid.
- Follow linked concepts to trace resonances across the system.
- Let each term unfold: through definition, metaphor, and relation.
- Build your own path: return often, re-read with a different rhythm.
Core Categories
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Structural | Terms from DAM: variables, architectures, resonances |
| Perceptual | Concepts from DAF: inner states, flow, thresholds |
| Dynamic | Language of time, energy, adaptation, transformation |
| Hybrid | Terms that emerge at the DAM–DAF–ARM interface |
Each entry lives on multiple axes: conceptual, emotional, systemic. Categories are points of entry—not containment.
Sample Entries
Structural
Node
A unit of potential relation. Not a thing, but a point of tension.
Metaphor: A knot where different winds pull.
→ Related: Resonance Field, Modulus
Modulus
A self-contained dynamic loop that adapts to internal rhythm.
Metaphor: A breathing lung inside a system.
→ Related: Node, Loop, Phase Shift
Interface
The porous boundary where systems meet and exchange pattern.
Metaphor: Like a shoreline between ocean and land.
→ Related: Threshold, Friction
Resonance Field
The invisible architecture that shapes relational gravity.
Metaphor: Like a spiderweb made of pressure and possibility.
→ Related: Node, Attunement
Perceptual
Threshold
A boundary that isn’t crossed but felt.
Metaphor: The temperature at which silence breaks into song.
→ Related: Attunement, Drift
Attunement
A state of precise relational awareness.
Metaphor: Like tuning two strings until they hum together.
→ Related: Flow, Semantic Echo
Pulse
A recurring internal rhythm that syncs with systemic change.
Metaphor: Like the quiet beat of wings in a shared sky.
→ Related: Modulus, Flow
Permeability
The openness of a boundary to external signals.
Metaphor: Like a skin that breathes ideas.
→ Related: Interface, Drift
Dynamic
Drift
Passive flow along a direction not yet named.
Metaphor: Like ink slowly spreading through water.
→ Related: Flow, Loop
Tension
The creative discomfort before coherence.
Metaphor: Like a bowstring held just before the arrow flies.
→ Related: Threshold, Pattern Agent
Friction
The resistive force that reveals hidden contours.
Metaphor: Like sand underfoot that reshapes your step.
→ Related: Interface, Pulse
Phase Shift
A sudden reconfiguration after slow accumulation.
Metaphor: Like glass cracking in silence before it shatters.
→ Related: Modulus, Tension
Hybrid
Semantic Echo
The delayed resonance of a concept across contexts.
Metaphor: Like a bell heard again in memory, days later.
→ Related: Attunement, Drift, Identity
Pattern Agent
A unit that shapes systems through alignment, not command.
Metaphor: Like a ripple that organizes other ripples.
→ Related: Node, Modulus, Tension
Dynamic Identity
A self that is not fixed, but formed through rhythm.
Metaphor: Like a flame that holds its shape only through motion.
→ Related: Pulse, Flow
Translation Layer
A connective space where difference becomes resonance.
Metaphor: Like fog that lets two landscapes merge without erasing either.
→ Related: Interface, Semantic Echo
Design Notes
- Every macro model in Autorite yields new lexicon entries.
- This page is dynamic: it grows as the system grows.
- Each entry is a meditation. Each revisit, a new layer.
